Hey everyone!

About two years ago, I shared a post here on r/MouseReview showing my journey collecting SteelSeries peripherals over the years. Time flies, and today marks roughly the 2-year anniversary of that post. Since then, I’ve managed to hunt down some incredible pieces and make some major updates to the collection, so I wanted to share my progress with the community!

Here are some of the rarest highlights I’ve added recently:

• World of Tanks Bundle: A super rare bundle that was exclusively sold in-person at a convention in Russia, making it extremely difficult to track down today.
• Medal of Honor Mouse: Produced in very limited quantities, making finding one in good condition a real challenge.
• Blade & Soul Mouse: The rare Asian edition mouse tied to the game.
• Fallout Set: Complete set items that were originally only released in the US, so tracking them down and getting them over to Europe was quite an adventure.
• Retro & Classic Game Collab Mousepads: A set of rare mousepads featuring collaborations with classic franchises and retro companies, including Rockman (Mega Man), Atari, Pac-Man, and Sonic.
• BlizzCon Mousepads: A few special edition pads added to the lineup.

Overall, finding these pieces in pristine condition with their original boxes has been a massive hunt, as most of them are genuinely hard to come by nowadays.

I also want to take a moment to express a huge thank you to this community. Over the past two years, so many of you have reached out to help me track down missing pieces. A very special shoutout goes to user u/Opening_Willow8229, who completely unselfishly offered me what is quite possibly the final puzzle piece for my SteelSeries x Counter-Strike collection: the rare HyperBeast QCK Mini mousepad. I couldn't be more grateful.

Another special shoutout has to go to the SteelSeries staff—and specifically u/MayDayFigs, who reached out to me directly after seeing my original post two years ago. They very kindly surprised me with some amazing items that I treasure deeply, including a super rare pre-production unit of the Arctis 7 "Ghost Edition" headset—a variant that never actually made it to retail—along with a letter congratulating me on the collection (I’ve attached photos of both the headset and the letter below!).

As a fun side note, the SteelSeries team even posted a TikTok reaction video to my original post, which was awesome and pretty funny to watch: TikTok Video

With these additions, I’ve pretty much completed everything I set out to find, with just one final "white whale" left on my list: the Blade & Soul mousepad. If anyone has any leads on that one, let me know!

Also, throughout this journey, I’ve picked up a few duplicate items. If anyone in the community is excited about finding a specific piece and wants to trade or needs help adding it to their setup, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help out fellow collectors!

I’d love to see what you guys have in your setups as well. Feel free to share photos of your own peripheral collections in the comments, drop any funny collecting stories, or suggest any rare SteelSeries products that you think might still be missing from my display.

Thanks for reading, and here’s to preserving a bit of gaming and hardware history!

Just wanted to share my mostly green setup. I am not a heavy gamer, I just mainly play an MMORPG so I can't give an opinion on its 8k feature.

I have just bought the Razer Viper V4 Pro and I like the mouse very much, but i was starting to wonder if wired of wireless had any difference in games.
I tried searching online but I could not find an answer.
Thanks in advance!

I code a lot and used a 12 side button mouse once from a friend and fell in love. I also game various games that would be a lot easier if I just had many side buttons. Anu suggestions?

Oh baby... This looks like the refreshed hyperlight many of us has been waiting for. No specs listed though, but it better have a 3955 in it.

Looks like exactly the same shape, just updated. They posted this on their official X account. Drop is tomorrow!

A want to buy a mouse but its hard to choose a good one in budget. I play fps games like valorent and COD. I am not that a stong player though. I need a smooth mouse and I have a budget of 1K INR but I can push it to 1.7K. I have been looking to buy evofox phantom air trimode mouse. Is it worth to buy.

The orange looks so cool, is it a custom finish for pros? Can't wait for Zowie's next iteration.

Went from G502X Plus to a G pro superlight (for €60) to try the lightweight trend, and I like it so I want to get an 'endgame' mouse.

I am struck between the X3 Superstrike and the X2 CrazyLight.

I like the idea of the HITS buttons on the Superstrike, but I am not sure how much benefit it really has in games.

Then the Pulsar X2 CL seems like the lightest option in a similar shape to the superlight. I feel like the weight might make a bigger difference than HITS.

I currently mainly play CoD MW4 multiplayer and DMZ. I am not the best but I want to get as good as I can using M&K (Controller just doesnt feel as satisfying to me even though I know this game has heavy aim assist).

I feel like I use claw grip on the superlight currently.

Does anyone have experience with both mice? Looking for advice from people with more experience. Thanks!

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has tried out the thin OP1 8k v2 cable from Aliexpress. I’m sure the Midori or PMM cable are probably better quality and reliable in terms of connection but this cable kinda piqued my curiosity.

(Picture for reference)

Hi,

right now im using a Logitech x Pro Superlight. Sofar I really like the mouse mainly for its weight but im getting more a more problems. The scrollweel scrolls always in the wrong direction for a few seconds. (tried to fixe it but after 1 day same problem) Also the mouse startet doing double clicks. Now im looking for a new mouse. Im not sure if I want to buy the same again, because the I saw a lot of post with the same problems and I don't want to buy a new mouse every 2 years. Are there any similar options out there? I really like that its weight and the shape works good with my large hands. Im from Germany if this is important for availability.

Ty all for you help.

i just came across this 95g wired square brick and was wondering what you guys thought about it;

it literally has a 3.1-inch color touchscreen slapped onto the palm rest with an onboard keyboard, calendar widgets, and air-mouse gyro controls, all for a casual $199 early bird ($250 msrp).

obviously no one here is buying this thing, but even pretending it is strictly for office desk setups, paying $200 just to rub clammy palm sweat all over an lcd display while trying to move a cursor is peak kickstarter tech bloat, or am i wrong?

BTW, wanted to clear this up -- the Developer Edition has the same specs as the standard MX Master 4. The only differences are cosmetic.

Been using mine for a year. It's my first intentionally invested gaming mouse and it's looking good so far except I'm starting to see a few inconsistencies with the coating but that's probably because I have sweaty palms. On the other hand, I'd like to hear how it had been for others

Rn I am mouseless and planning to buy a mouse but I can't choose between VXE r1+ and G304.

Both have same warranty

G304 costs $10 more

I don't really care about weight battery and stuff.

All I care is sensor and long term use.

I've kind of come to terms that God has given me the palm grip ergo gene and the DA V3 shape still hits different compared to other ergos I've tried (Vaxee E1, EC3, 2, 1, G703). 18.5x9 hands.

Minimal button wobble (practically non-existent), moderate pre, minimal post, moderate-light clicks, somewhat light scroll wheel but generally quite quiet, perfect side buttons, shape is excellent (perfect for me personally, after having tried quite a few ergo and ambi mice over the past year). 59 grams is a great weight for me personally.

Also really great price, especially nowadays (460HKD out the door, or 58-59USD).

The EC1 and 2 have flatter, less rounded backs and taller relative button heights, which I found left an empty space in my naturally curved palm, and almost forced a palm grip. The Deathadder fills that space perfectly while allowing my fingers to curl or rest as needed. The Vaxee E1 was a bit too small, but had good general proportions. EC3 almost forces a claw grip for my hand size which I found very uncomfortable.

Very happy using this until a V5 comes out, if I even need/want to upgrade.

Been using the GPX C but the sensor is skipping. Preferably would like a better jump in the back. Overall size is nice tho. I used to use a Zowie s2C back n the day and it was really nice. Lowkey don’t wanna pay flagship prices anymore so clones more than welcome!

Don’t have a tape measure laying around currently but I’m pretty sure last time I measured it was 17.5 by something lol

Tried a viper v3 and returned that thing the next day lol

Appreciate yalls time and recs 🥹❤️

There is so many mouse skates to choose from and I don't even know which to choose. My mouse is the Atk X1 Pro Max with stock skates and I mainly play Valorant with low sens. I feel as if my skates are too smooth and I would want a little bit of stopping power for micro adjustments. And would you recommend dots or full skates for tac fps?
